I find myself singing this song pretty frequently. Possibly, this is because it plays at least once a day in my car, where I haven't changed the CD in several weeks.

It's a new Switchfoot song. I can't say I love the CD or even that I can pinpoint what this song's about. But it's the only semi-acoustic track, and the tone makes me think of October.

Daisy, give yourself away
Look up at the rain
The beautiful display
Of power and surrender
Giving us today
And she gives herself away

Rain, another rainy day
Comes up from the ocean
Give herself away
She comes down easy
On rich and dead the same
And she gives herself away

Let it go
Daisy, Let it go
Open up your fist
This fallen world
Doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it go

Pain, give yourself a name
Call yourself contrition
Avarice of blame
Giving isn't easy
Neither is the rain
When she gives herself away

Daisy, why another day?
Why another sunrise
Who will take the blame
For all redemptive motion
And every rainy day
When he gives himself
